Been LJ silent for a while. Think I ran out of words temporarily.

Anyway, back now, and last night I finally got around to watching the latest DW episode, Amy's Choice.

Spoilers behind cut.



Don't know about anyone else, but I thought that was a great little episode - definitely the best yet of the new series. Everything (or almost everything) seemed to work well somehow, and it managed to be scary (or as scary as DW ever is), poignant, creepy and exciting all at once. I dunno. It was just..neat. Neatly written, well-plotted etc etc. Had an old-fashioned, writerly feel. Oh, and the bloke playing the Dream Lord was very good indeed.

What did everyone else think?

I also thought it was the best episode so far (and so did my little circle of austrian Who fans). I loved all the issues the Doctor had going on and also that it was really creepy.

I'm quite ond of the new series, there's a lot of fresh wind, I like th actors and the writing seems to have found it's footing after the not so great space whale and Dalek episodes.

I'm going to need a proper Who icon.

Yes, it was creepy, wasn't it, which DW hasn't managed yet this season, not even with the Weeping Angels. I think that was mainly down to the actor playing the Dream Lord. He was really, really good. His Hugh Hefner act was particularly disturbing.

The series does seem to have found its footing. What's more, it seems more like the old DW, which is not to say RTD didn't do great stuff with the show (and without him there would be no New Who), but I do like the old-style Who feel of it.
